19th century Spanish school

Spanish school of the XIX century
"Christ crucified".
Silver sculpture.
Wooden cross.
Presents marks of use, wear, faults, a crack in the wood and damage.
Measurements: 13 x 8 cm (Christ); 56 x 17 cm (cross).

Christ of three nails, made in silver. Following neoclassical models, the anatomical description has sought harmony of proportions to the detriment of pathos. The slightly bent legs present a dexterous twisting. The purity cloth is folded in naturalistic draperies. The finials of the cross are decorated with silver applications based on borders or foliate motifs. A snake, also in silver, decorates the wooden base.
